Between 19th-25th March Hartlepool & District Hospice are urging groups, businesses, schools and more to support their patients by taking part in fundraising activities themed around their familiar Purple brand.

The working week will end with their first ever 'Curry-Oke Night' on Thursday 24th March at Hartlepool RFC, featuring the joyous combo of curry and karaoke - plus a disco, various games and other fun.

Tickets are just £10 and include curry and a pint.

Tickets are available from the bar or contact the Hospice on 01429 855536

You can also support the Purple Week event by donating via text message. Simply text PURP13 followed by your donation (e.g. £2) to 70070.
